Dual distance sensor functionality

Using Arduino Project Guidance
1

Currently myself and a few friends are attempting to develop a video game and we are looking into the feasibility of using an Arduino to create a custom controller for the video game.
The controller will require two distance sensors that can output the 'distance data' to a program called Unity (it appears there is a Unity Add-On for this called Udunio to transfer the data).

is there a certain (cheaper) Arduino kit that would be good for this 'proof of concept'?
for now, the only requirements are that it allows for two distance sensors.

any recommendations?

Why don't you use Arduino clones which are cheap and for distance sensor ,use ultrasonic distance sensor which has a range of 3m

How many of your group know at least C beyond beginner level?

Ping modules I have use 2 IO pins. I could use many on a Nano, one at a time.

An 8 pin ATtiny85 chip standalone can run 2 ping modules and still have 4 open pins if you re-purpose RESET.
edit: High-Low Tech – Programming an ATtiny w/ Arduino 1.6 (or 1.0)

You have a lot of choices for target chip.
